Saint-Étienne, following their relegation from Ligue 1, are clearly going through a challenging period. Horneland's squad resembles a "rudderless ship": stability remains elusive, and there are no clear markers on the horizon. Their recent offseason was far from successful, with three consecutive defeats and a cumulative score of 2-7 telling their own story. While the attack shows some promise, the defense undoubtedly requires a major overhaul. There's a lot of work ahead, and fans can only hope for a brighter future for their club.
